If your boss gave you $100 for a book of stamps, what would you do with it? I stood there, out in the middle of the street in NYC, thinking, "mmmn. i could buy a cd with this." (I always actually think of myself with a small "i") but I restrained myself and instead just bought the book of 20 stamps.

He let me keep the loose change, but the other $90-odd dollars I had to give back. So sad. No cd happines. How did I become so ethical?

I don't think your ethics (good, bad or otherwise) are really in question here. Unfortunately it was well below the threshold. It wasn't really enough cash to be worth the hassle of a potentially expensive court case ("they only really gave me $10! i swear") and trying to hunt down a new job at the outset... and it definately wasn't in the "complete identity change and skipping the country" embezzlement threshold.

Try this simple experiment again when your boss sends you with $1000. Then again next time he sends you with $10,000... and so on in progressive intervals until ethics loses. I'm sure you'll not let us down. ;)
